PSALMS FOR LIVING

Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

Today’s Psalms for Living devotion is from Psalm 27:5-6

Mark writes in today’s devotion: “We love to live up on the mountaintop, but those experiences are really just retreats that allow us to advance against the troubles of the world.” Life isn’t going to be all sunshine and roses; nor will it be all rocks and valleys. Rejoice in ALL things!

ROMANS 1:16-17 PART 3

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 3

Mark Lanier concludes his three-part lesson on Romans 1:17-17 this week. He has gotten quite a bit of feedback over these verses – both positive and negative – and his discussion on the righteousness of God.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is the righteousness of God? How is it revealed to us? Mark explains that Paul is writing about the “courtroom” righteousness in these verses.

Are you convicted when you sin? Read 1 John 16:8…

How will God judge the world? Read Acts 17:31…

So, how does God judge us? Does He have “favorites”?

As a child, Mark wondered why God couldn’t just judge us on His own, without sending Jesus to die on the cross. Listen as he shares his thoughts on this…

How are WE the righteousness of God? Tune in tomorrow for more on Mark’s review of this…

FOLLOWING JESUS EVERYDAY

Discussed by Pastor Scott Riling
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 3

Do you ever try to hide things from God or other people? Do you ever act like things in your life are great?

This week, Pastor Steven Morris uses Philippians 3:1-10 from Paul’s letter to share how you can have joy and confidence in the Lord.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

ESSENTIAL #2: Learn from the past, but don’t live in it. (vs 13b)

What did the people think of Paul? What was Paul’s opinion of himself?

Pastor Scott reads from 2 Corinthians 12:7-9. What was Paul’s “thorn in the flesh”?

Why do we beat ourselves up over past sins? Is this just Satan trying to tear us down and keep our eyes turned away from Christ?

Remember: Paul was not a great guy before he became a Christian! He left those sins in the past; you can, too! Acts 26:9-10
